Page structure
Sections that don't land
By Caleb Gross · Updated · Based on Jev AI scores of 59 pages
Short answer
Give every section one job and one takeaway, make the heading that takeaway, and cut anything that doesn't support it.
Every section on a landing page should answer one question a visitor has: what is it, how does it work, will it work for me, what does it cost. Sections that try to say several things, or nothing in particular, slow people down.

Why it matters
Each confusing section is a point where visitors leave. A page of tight, single-point sections reads faster and builds momentum toward the button.
Signs your page has this problem
- You can't sum up a section in one sentence.
- The heading and the body talk about different things.
- Paragraphs longer than three lines with no visual break.
How to fix it
- 1
One section, one point
Write the single takeaway first, then cut anything that doesn't support it.
- 2
Make the heading the takeaway
A skimmer should get the point from the heading alone.
- 3
Break up long text
Short paragraphs, bullets and a visual per section.

Checklist
- Each section can be summarized in one sentence

Questions
How many sections should a SaaS landing page have?
Enough to answer the main questions: what it is, how it works, proof, pricing or next step, and objections. Often 5–8. Length matters less than every section earning its place.

Hiding your pricing
No prices, or “Contact sales” for a product people could buy alone.
Headline
Your headline doesn't say what you sell
Clever or abstract headlines make visitors guess what the product is.
